Why should you have to allow anyone to get married on your land?


Because they operate a business that accommodates the public. New York allows gay marriages. They violated New York law by denying the lesbian couple the use of their farm, as they happily do for straight couples.

This is the part I don't get. So what? If they had denied a ceremony to an exceptionally fat and/or ugly couple because it would be bad for business, would anybody care? Or forget any reasons given at all - why can't a business owner just say, "No, we don't want your business"? It's not like the lesbian couple couldn't be married somewhere else.
